Beautiful campground, great play area for kids. Only complaint was that we had a lot of trouble finding a dumpster for trash.

Nice campground for a one night stop. Only complaint is that the showers nozzles spray in every direction but down - I tried 3 before just giving up and doing the best I could do! The campground is very pretty and we were happy to have such a nice spot at a reasonable price!

We love this campground! Paved sites with Full Hookups make it an easy stop. Wish the sites were a bit more level though! The lake is nearby. The dump station is convenient and I am glad that the dumpsters have been moved out of the RV sites and closer to the Dump Station.

Campsite was great as always. We had the same site as last year. The staff was great & the facilities were in perfect condition. I love sitting out in the evening watching the sunset over the lake, through the trees. The campground was not filled this year as it had been the past two years.

The lot we booked was shady, fairly level, had paved areas for our vehicles. Very nice, plan to book the same spot again.

Warning for 5th wheels, class A’s and longer campers. This site is a nightmare. I wish I’d seen the reviews before I had it booked and paid for. The site is so steep that when the camper went onto it, it skinned the back of the top of our truck gate. On the drivers side we had to tuck the camper in within 6” of the back in order to have the awning on the other side miss the other tree. The awning could only extend half way. And once we were in we weren’t able to level it because the front was as low as it would go and the back as high as it would go. Still not level. When lowering the steps only 1 leg was on the ground while the other leg had to have blocks. This site is a real ankle turner. Absolutely would not recommend this site.
BUT.. on a good note the bathrooms were immaculate. Probably the cleanest campground bathrooms I've ever seen. I hope this helps you not scratch up your truck. We had no idea until we were somewhat backed in.

The host greeted us when we came in . It was after dark and was told where our camp site was at and we went to the site and was starting to back i and he came down with a flash light and helped us get backed in a d set up. That was very nice and we loved our site and the camp ground. We will be back again!
